Goodreads asked Katy Cage:

How do you get inspired to write?

Katy Cage There's really no limit to what inspires me. I write a lot of fantasy, so mythology, fairytales, and history definitely have a huge impact on my works. But so can everyday life. Real people can be the basis for my characters. Stories told to me by elderly relatives or wise friends can, too.

It's never about seeking out inspiration, or actively trying to be original. That's like creative suicide. Let inspiration find you.
